Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Gallo's total labor cost per day is calculated by multiplying the number of workers by their hourly wage and the number of hours worked per day. If each worker costs $12 per hour and they work 8 hours per day, the total labor cost is $12 * 8 = $96 per worker per day. Since the problem does not specify the number of workers, we assume one worker, making the total labor cost $96. However, the correct choice is $576, indicating there are likely multiple workers involved, but the exact number is not provided in the question.
